The Contribution of the Orthodox Ecumenists to the Interfaith Venture and Their Responsibility for It

by Hieromonk Klemes Agiokyprianites
Translated by Archbishop Chrysostomos of Etna and Hieromonk Patapios

Number V of Contributions to a Theology of Anti–Ecumenism

“The primary goal of[...this book...]is to make it fully understood that the ecumenical movement consistently treads its own course, with the result that it will end up becoming a pan–religious movement. Such a result is unavoidable, because it is inherent in the very system of ecumenism. This end is to be expected without fail, since it is the ‘entelechy’ of the secularized pan–Christian movement, which naturally leads to its ‘consummation,’ to a non–Christian future. In the midst of the confusion that prevails on account of ecumenism, any sense of the difference between Christianity and other religions has been so dulled, that we have reached the astonishing point—indeed, perhaps the ultimate point—of offering the Eucharist even to non–Christians, as one distinguished ecumenist has admitted! The contribution of the Orthodox ecumenists to this apostasy, then, is self–evident, and their responsibility is tremendous for all that is happening and being reported in this regard[...].”
